For many newcomers, the decoration project is a headache, often more than 100,000 or 200,000 expenses, if they do not control the budget, the decoration cost will be higher. Although decoration is often "you get what you pay for", not everyone can afford it. Within a limited budget, spending all the money that should be spent is the right thing to do, and that's the decision of a smart person.
Not necessarily every piece of furniture or every material is expensive, sometimes it is actually more practical to "poorly equip". After living in the new house for half a year, I found that it is wiser to decorate these 6 locations in the house, which are all big truths, and I recommend you to take a look in advance:
If the wall is painted with latex paint, then there is no need to pursue imported latex paint. Many people have heard that imported latex paint is more environmentally friendly, and it is true that for environmental protection, the European standard has higher requirements than the national standard, but for newcomers to decoration, it is not easy to distinguish whether the merchant supply channel is really imported paint or the "fake foreign devil" products produced and sold by domestic foundries.
Rather than this, it is better to choose domestic latex paint directly, now with the continuous progress of technology, the quality of domestic latex paint is also very good, many big brands of latex paint can basically do "no detection of formaldehyde".
When we go to buy latex paint, we have to buy the products produced by regular manufacturers. Secondly, we must look at the TVOC content, that is, the sum of volatile organic compounds, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, free formaldehyde and other pollutants, the lower the content, the more environmentally friendly, and the product must have the ten-ring certification mark. Businesses are required to issue environmental protection test reports for products to see clearly.
In recent years, the more popular decoration styles are more minimalist, and the ceiling as a decoration is not necessary to be too complicated and unsightly.
A simple double eyelid ceiling or gypsum line can go around, which will not lower the height of the floor, and there is no need to worry about the decoration polluting the appearance caused by the wrong quality of the ceiling. Even if the top surface of the home is flat enough, there is no need to install ** air conditioning or new housing system, and it is more simple and generous to not do the ceiling directly. Even if you look at it after 10 years, it will be just as comfortable, it will not go out of style, and you can save a lot of money, so why not?
If you are laying tiles at home, as a newcomer, you must first understand that the water of the tiles itself is quite deep. Sometimes a tile with a price tag of several hundred pieces can be cut to dozens of dollars. In addition, most of the expensive ceramic tiles of first-line manufacturers are only because of the brand premium, because the brand wants to promote, to publicize, which requires costs, so the price of the product can only be increased. In fact, these tiles and some low-priced tiles may be produced by the same manufacturer, there is no difference in quality, but the latter is basically not advertised, and the marketing cost is low.
In addition, if you want to lay flooring at home, you don't have to choose pure solid wood flooring, which is expensive and squeamish, and it also tests the master's technical level. It is also necessary to take care of it every day, otherwise the environment is too dry and damp, and the floor may be warped or moldy and deformed. It is good to choose a more cost-effective parquet, although the environmental protection is not as good as pure solid wood, but it is no problem if it meets the national standard, the stability is good and does not need additional care, it is not easy to warp and deform, etc., and it is also suitable for floor heating.
Heavy and expensive lighting can indeed give people a sense of regal luxury, but after a long time, you will find that it is really unnecessary. Take the expensive crystal lamp, for example, it is really amazing at first installation, but over time you will have a sense of depression because the floor height is depressed. After a few more years, the lamp beads burned out one after another, and it was very difficult to clean them every time.
There are also those bells and whistles atmosphere lights, which may not be turned on once a year after installation, because most of the time a main light can cover them. Therefore, it would be more ideal and practical to "simplify the complex" in terms of lamps.
The so-called "poor outfit" of household appliances is not to let you buy those cheap miscellaneous household appliances, but to advise everyone not to pursue those so-called high-end household appliances with many functions, because many functions may not be used by you, and may not be used, or even not easy to use at all.
Now with the gradual popularization of smart home appliances, we will find that there are many novel products in the home appliance market, such as refrigerators with large screens that can be brushed, washing machines with wifi can be remotely controlled, smart toilets and drying racks can support voice control, and microwave ovens can also be used as ovens.
And these home appliances that are integrated with "high-tech" will be much more expensive than ordinary models. But is it really practical? Not necessarily. The refrigerator is mostly in the kitchen, who would watch a drama in front of the refrigerator while stir-frying? Washing clothes in a washing machine is a matter of pressing a button, is it necessary to operate remotely? It's also too strange to give orders to toilets and drying racks, in short, don't covet these gimmicks when buying appliances, think carefully about your needs, and choose the right product.
The TV wall is the C position of the living room, as one of the highlights of the living room, many people like to design the TV wall in a variety of ways. But the decorative effect of the actual TV wall is easily outdated, and there is no need to spend this money at all.
Besides, many people don't even turn on the TV when they get home. Wouldn't it be nice to make a big white wall or simply paint a colored latex paint and save that money to do something else? In fact, the big white wall is more inclusive and more durable, and the soft decoration will not be shabby at all.
The above is a little suggestion for everyone, mainly from the practicality, of course, the tyrants are free to pretend, but for most ordinary families, money is not blowing in the wind, poor clothing does not mean shabby, "practical" is the wisest choice for decoration.
